1. The paper brand specified is an inkjet paper. Is the printing equipment an inkjet printer? What brand and model?

Answer: Xerox Printers; Model #'s 144 and 288, high speed production equipment.

2. You specify reams of 500 sheets, which would be typical, yet your request for samples is based on 1,000 sheets per ream. Shouldn’t it be 500 sheets?

Answer: The sample size will remain at 1,000 sheets. Please submit two reams of 500 sheets each.

3. For the sample, could we provide un-perforated sheets of the brand we are offering along with perforation samples that might be on a different sheet? As a custom item, we are anticipating difficulty getting the exact paper perfed in time to submit with our bid. Maybe they could be requested from the apparent low bidder prior to award?

Answer: No, the sample must be the exact product (perforations included) for the evaluation of consistency and uniformity. As a result the Sample Deadline ONLY, will be extended until 10/27/17, 3:00PM EST. for interested parties already submitting a quote by the deadline listed in the solicitation (10/20/17, 3:00PM).

4. Is the carton packing important (beyond affecting the price per carton)? Typically 8 ½ x 14, 24 lb paper is packed 5,000 shts/ctn (10 reams of 500 shts) and there are standard size cartons to fit that. Cartons of 2,500 sheets of 8 ½ x 14 would be a custom size and would add to the cost of the paper. We could quote pricing per thousand sheets so the carton packing would not matter.

5. Answer: The solicitation specified 2,500 sheets per carton. 5000 sheets per case will be acceptable since this is the industry standard.
